Wallingford CT, June 19th

Well last night after spending some time in our Hotel Room, we noticed a constant drip of water coming from the ceiling. We put down a towel, after about 20 minutes it didn't get better. Mom kept saying we needed to call the front desk because the water will ruin the floor. I was telling her, just put down a bigger towel and we will worry about it in the morning. We were in our Pj's, and i knew they would either want to move us, or work on it! Well, mom finally called and they wanted to move us to another room! I was annoyed but didn't have much of a choice. WE walked into our new room (after the guy kindly loaded all our shit up for us and moved it) and it was HUGE!! We both stood in awe! he then told us it was the Handicap room...like i care! i loved that room! The shower was huge and you could just walk straight into it, not like the tub/shower. WE even had a bench in the shower, i would like handicap rooms all the time. :)

WE decided to check out one of the only WW2 boats still around in Albany before leaving town. WE got to tour the USS Slater. This particular boat was a destroyer with 250 men on board. It was up in Greece during the war. We got to see where all the guys got to eat, sleep, the bathrooms, where they drive from and all the guns plus much more. The guy giving us the tour was an older guy who was in WW2 but not on that boat. We both enjoyed the tour. Its amazing how many guys it takes on a boat that size to make everything run the way its supposed to. We left Albany NY, went through Massachusetts, and into Connecticut. We are staying in Wallingford CT tonight. If you wondering what we are doing here, there is not much! We asked where we could get a pedicure, and no one knew of a place! But we also had ticked to see John Edwards (physics Medium). The show was about 2 1/2 hours and was amazing! We both loved it! We are both excited for our journey tomorrow towards New York City!!!

Thanks for all your comments! We enjoy reading them!

No John is pretty much an ass. he tells it like it is, and if you don't like it he doesn't care. Its all in a good way. No he didn't talk to us, but it was still so amazing. the things he said made so much since! We laughed so hard at some of the stories! he is just an amazing guy!
